▪
When ripping a small work piece, it is not safe to place the hand between the blade and
the rip fence. Use one or more push sticks to push the work piece completely past the
blade.

Crosscutting
▪
First unlock the sliding table by moving the transport lock and unscrewing the screw nut
below the table.
▪
Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the miter gauge groove on the table.
▪
Raise the blade until it is approximatel
y 1/8” (3.2 mm) above the top of the work piece.
▪
Hold the work piece firmly against the miter gauge, with the path of the blade in line with
the desired cutting line. Move the work piece to within 1” (2.5 cm) of the blade.
▪
Start the saw, and wait for the blade to reach full speed. Do not stand directly in line with
the saw blade’s path. Instead, stand on the side where the cut is being made.
▪
Keep the work piece against the face of the miter gauge and flat against the table. Slowly
push the sliding table with the work piece through the blade.
▪
Do not attempt to pull the work piece backward while the blade is turning. Turn the switch
OFF, and wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before carefully sliding the
work piece out.
In order to avoid instability, always place the larger surface of the
workpiece on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel crosscutting.
9.11
Bevel crosscutting 0° - 45° blade bevel & 90° miter angle
This operation is the same as crosscutting, except that the blade is at a bevel angle other than
0°.
▪
Adjust the blade to the desired angle, and then tighten the blade bevel locking knob.
▪
Tighten the miter locking handle at 90°.
▪
Hold the work piece firmly against the face of the miter gauge throughout the cutting
operation.
9.12
Compound miter crosscutting 0° - 45° blade bevel & 0° - 45° miter angle
This sawing operation combines a miter angle with a bevel angle.
▪
Set the miter gauge to the desired angle.
▪
Set the blade bevel to the desired bevel angle, and tighten the blade bevel locking knob.
▪
Hold the work piece firmly against the face of the miter gauge throughout the cutting
operation.
9.13
Mitering: 0° - 45° miter angle
This operation is the same as crosscutting, except that the miter gauge is locked at an angle
other than 90°.
▪
Set the blade to a 0° bevel angle, and tighten the blade bevel locking knob.
▪
Set the miter gauge to the desired miter angle, and secure it in position by tightening the
miter gauge locking handle.
▪
Hold the work piece firmly against the face of the miter gauge throughout the cutting
operation.
10 TRANSPORTATION (FIG. 11)
Before lifting or transporting the saw, the saw blade must be lowered and locked. The saw can
be moved by using the wheels.
▪
Rotate the lock buttons (a) 90° in clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and then pull
the lock buttons at the same time, fold the one pair of legs (b) underneath the base.
▪
Hold the pair of legs (c) opposite to the wheels and raise them to enough height to use as
handle.
